The clothes pin cartoon is one of your best EVER and perfectly captures my feelings. I'll vote tomorrow, but there is truly not a candidate I'm excited about. Most of the choices are between incompetence and evil-ness.
I feel like the biggest problem with our elections isn't so much people not voting, its people voting who have no information whatsoever. If you're getting all your information from negative smear commercials or worse, voting a straight party line (EITHER party) without bothering to think, then I sure as hell would prefer you to stay home. If you're going to exercise your civic rights, do it responsibly.
Just to note that I forwarded these cartoons to my benighted fellow-voters in Illinois. You have captured our dilemma perfectly - unfortunately. Pace Albert, all I can say is "Oog."
Great cartoon reference (double Oog! Ol' Pogo was one of my favorites).
Anon 10:59 has a good point. Maybe we need to institute voter licensing. More than dog licensing, less than medical licensing, something like the CDL professional truck drivers have. To get a license, one has to pass a written civics test and a driving test with the new voting machines.
I'm with dan... I'm not voting for who I want to win so much as I am voting for who I think I can tolerate more.
BTW, love the BorgBlog!
The 'Press hard' cartoon epitomizes what all patriots feel. Thank You.
